The U.S. Department of Labor says Google discriminates against female employees in pay at a level that's even worse than the tech industry as a whole.

The department has found "systemic compensation disparities against women pretty much across the entire workforce," Labor Department Regional Director Janette Wipper testified in a court in San Francisco on Friday, according to a report by The Guardian. Janet Herold, the department's regional solicitor, told the Guardian that pay discrimination against women was extreme.

Wipper said that the DoL found pay disparities in a snapshot of salaries from 2015, according to the Guardian.
